Galaxy S2, Virgin Mobile Screen Replacement - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello fellow Xda Readers
I have an old Galaxy S2, which I had service through Virgin Mobile.
Long story short, the screen cuts in and out. I have to use a mini hdmi cord made for that phone to screen mirror on my tv. Via Hdmi.
My question is : Are there still companies out there that will replace the screen for me ?

Yes there are, but the question is... Why not buy a better phone for the same price?

Because the Galaxy S2 was the very first smart phone I ever bought and it holds sentimental value to me..

Good point. You can also buy another s2 used, or maybe new old stock online...

Well, alrighty then...any last little glimmer of hope has perished. Guess I'll just use my new portable monitor with my laptop instead:

Apparently it can be done with a Galaxy S II, but I'm holding out for a Galaxy S III, which Verizon probably won't release until they've finalized their plan to take away their unlimited data plan from any current customer who decides to upgrade.
motorola .. they had it when the other guys didnt
i was disappointed too when i looked into this more.. would have been a nice touch .. but then again so would a front camera and more ram and ... well time to get a beasty phone

Sorry but the S3 is the best phone on the market at the time, and best place to purchase is on Amazon o eBay
There are zillion threads like this and always everybody jump to suggest Samsung Galaxy S3.
But actually I wouldn't buy it. The battery lasts ways less than S2. The S3 screen is bigger and for some people is nice to me makes the phone bulky and heavy.
I'd get an S2. It's cheaper, the CPU is 1.2 vs 1.5 from S3, battery lasts WAY MORE even though it has less mAh!! (which is the MOST important feature of a phone) and 1 GB RAM "ought to be enough for everybody".
A powerful phone means less battery and that means more frustration in the street with a phone that ran out of charge.

I think you can also install Jelly Bean on S3 several months later when an official ROM is produced. But HTC One X is also a good choice.

+1 on the SGS3:laugh:
I also would go with the SGS3. The size isn't that much different from the SGS2 and all the reviews i've read said the battery life is good.

Hi there ! New Galaxy NOTE user.

Hi i've been on this site forever but never been much of a poster ! Started with the classic Galaxy on android 1.5 then went for the Galaxy S , had a ton of HTC's and then the Galaxy S 2 , broke the screen after a few days , back to a galaxy S , broke the screen as well . Just got a note .. and the screen is already broken too !! Ho well , i guess i should not have those phones with my kind of jackassy lifestyle.
Anyway ! Love the forum , very very useful when it comes to rom info/download.
Looking forward to some great roms on the NOTE !
Yeah dude.....You need to buy stock in Otterbox. That is all.

I am right there with you. I break my phone way too often. I need a Nextel or something lol.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
that's a lot of screen breaking lol
Thing is i always get otterbox with my phones. Been working for Bell (montreal) telecom and i get them cost so its worth it .. Sometimes otterbox is like 100$ so ita always better cost. But the screens still break. My note can survive a while cause the crack is like covering 5% screen one long ass line goin thru the kb area. Anyway !! They should start makink huge phones with screens like the nokia c series. Bashed em with scissors/keys and whatnot and they never break. Minor scratches. Would be 200$ more on the phone but 300% worth it !!

How do you like your note?
Pretty good actually . Speed could be better since its a dual 1.4 but it does what it does. Issues with some games that display wrong textures etc. But the s pen is useful to me in PS touch/Autodesk sketchup when i go meet clients and pre scribble som logos while brainstorming. Cant wait for another version of a big phone with the same or better featurea. Id go up to 6inch i think . After that its kind of retarded to call it a phone.

And when i say started off . Of course i mean the whole rooting/custom rom thingy. My first phone was prehistoric like 5pounds manpurse style. portability was the main concern there !!

Which Samsung device would you recommend?

Hi, my father was using the Samsung S3 mobile and the screen has split recently. The S3 used to work great, but I'm now looking for a new Samsung device for him instead of paying 50 dollars for a screen replacement. I want a Samsung cellphone with good specifications and reasonably priced, as he doesn't often use a phone.
Do you guys have any suggestion? Thank you!
